Please keep in mind that for the time being it's also possible to use Bumblebee, which has perfectly working Optimus support. NVidia Prime would be nicer, but considering the age of the bug I do not think a fix is coming anytime soon.

Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
